Stability and formation of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PMN) phase synthesized in Li2SO4-Na2SO4 molten salts have been investigated. And powder characteristics of PMN have been studied with a variation of processing parameters such as temperature, time, amount of the salts, and excess PbO. More ratio of Li2SO4 to Na2SO4 influences the percentage of perovskite phase due to the difference of the eutectic point of the salts, but does not influence the powder characteristics. The shape of PMN particles shows faceted morphology with bimodal distribution consisting with large and submicron parts. Particle size of PMN increased greatly with increasing soaking time or amount of salts rather than temperature. The addition of excess PbO resulted in round PMN crystallites without submicron particles. These results are discussed by XRD, SEM and thermal analyses.

The effect of Pb addition on microstructure and wear resistance was studied in rapidly solidified Al-20Si-5Fe-xPb(x=2, 4, 6 wt.%) alloys. The R/S Al-20Si-5Fe-xPb (x=2, 4, 6 wt.%) alloys showed a fine and homogeneous microstructure and an improved wear property compared with Al-20Si-5Fe alloy, while no significant change in UTS (Ultimate Tensile Strength) was shown. Contribution of the dispersoids on the wear property was discussed by showing the plastic deformation layers formed during wear track.

Silicate glasses with different $Nd_2O_3$ concentrations were prepared through conventional melt-quenching methods while PbS quantum dots (QDs) were precipitated through heat treatment. The peak wavelengths of absorption and the photoluminescence of PbS QDs shifted to the short-wavelength side as the concentration of $Nd_2O_3$ increased. The electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) indicated that $Nd^{3+}$ ions were preferentially distributed inside the PbS QDs instead of the glass matrix. In addition, there was no significant change in the lifetimes of the $Nd^{3+}:^4F_{3/2}$ fluorescence between the as-prepared glass ($607{\mu}s$) and the heat-treated glass($576{\mu}s$). $Nd^{3+}$ ions were surrounded by oxygen instead of sulfur and the Nd-O clusters probably acted as nucleating centers for the formation of PbS QDs inside the glasses.

A commercial PbO₂ electrode was adopted as the anode for the electrochemical degradation of the real textile effluent with the initial COD of 56.0 mg L^-1 and the stainless steel plate as the cathode. The effect of the initial pH, the electrolyte flow rate and the cell voltage on the COD, the current efficiency and the energy consumption were investigated without the addition of NaCl or Na₂SO₄. The experimental results illustrated that the PbO₂ electrode can reduce the COD of the textile effluent from 56.0 mg L^-1 to 26.0 mg L^-1 with the current efficiency of 86.1% and the energy consumption of 17.5 kWh kg^-1 (per kilogram of degraded COD) under the optimal operating conditions. Therefore PbO₂ electrode as the anode was promising to further electrochemically degrade the real textile effluent.

To improve dielectric, piezoelectric and temperature stability in 0.50Pb(SnS11/2TSbS11/2T)OS13T - 0.35PbTiOS13T - 0.60PbZrOS13T + 0.4[wt%]MnOS12T piezoelectric ceramics which is used for surface acoustic wave devices, CrS12TOS13T was added and the specimens were fabricated by Hot Press method, and their characteristics were measured with CrS12TOS13T addition. From the results, in the specimen added by 0.2[wt%]CrS12TOS13T, dielectric constant and mechanical quality factor were 380 and 2307, respectively, and it was suited for surface acoustic wave device and the temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency in the specimen added by 0.4[wt%]CrS12TOS13T was the least value of 74.96[ppm/$^{\circ}C$].

In this study, in order to develop the low temperature sintering multilayer piezoelectric transformer, PMW-PMN-PZT system ceramics were manufactured with the addition of sintering aids, and their dielectric and piezoelectric characteristics were investigated. At the composition ceramics sintered at $900^{\circ}C$, dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}r$), electromechanical coupling factor(kp) and mechanical quality factor(Qm) showed the optimal value of 1043, 0.44 and 793, respectively, for multilayer piezoelectric transformer application.
